Cipher. (Spoilers from chapter 8) · 9:37pm Aug 13th, 2014
Alright, so I included a cipher in the 8th chapter. The ciphered text is not important to the story. You don't need to know what is said for the chapter to make sense. In fact, I made it purposefully difficult to understand, because Twilight couldn't understand it, and the chapter is from her perspective.
So, that being said, here's the key to the cipher.
Replace A with %
Replace B with ->
C C

Z A
And the text reads:
(First)
“Star!” Fluttershy said. “Has your hunt fared you well?”
“Not as well as I would have liked.” Star replied, a small smile crossing her face. “How about you?”
“We are in great danger. The great power Life has risen! We need to get to the shining city before sunrise. Please, aid us!” Fluttershy said, strong but pleading.
“Of course. I would not let a friend stay in trouble.” Star nodded. “I will guide you.”
(Second)
Star laughed “Foolish blue pegasus! Do you ever use that brain of yours, or only your emotions?”
(Third)
"Foolish, foolish, foolish!" Star laughed.“Does she ever use her head?”
“She is just suspicious. Give her some slack.” Fluttershy said.
(Fourth)
"Paranoid!"
(Fifth)
"Foolish."
(Sixth)
“I will assist you.” Star said.
“No, I think you have done enough. You were a great help.” Fluttershy said kindly.
“I will not let you take on a great power without help!” Star said, anger in her voice. “Flit, you are my only friend. I would be honored to die for you.”
“We are heroes. We know what we are doing. We will be fine.” Fluttershy pleaded. “I want you to be safe. Even if we manage to survive the great power, just being in the shining city is dangerous for you! Please, let us take care of this.”
Star sighed. “Ponies!” she shook her head. “Alright, fine.”
